CrypKey USBKey Fact Sheet

Summary:

CrypKey USBKey is a software license management solution with a 32MB to 2GB USB flash drive. It offers an affordable alternative to the common "dongle" protection method for software developers and end-users who prefer to use tangible copy protection solutions. It is ideal for those who need to move their software license from one computer to another on a regular basis.

Key Features:

• user-friendly/easier to use than dongles; insert into USB port (no installation required)
• provides immediate delivery of the software and license; user does not need to call back for an "unlock key"
• greater compatibility than dongles; native operating system drivers internally support flash drives
• greater storage capacity than dongles, which typically have only 128K capacity (CrypKey USBKey has 32MB - 2GB capacity). Holds both software application and license authorizing the application.
• less expensive than dongles
• high durability; with no moving parts, is less susceptible to damage (failure rate: 1,000,000 hours)
• can be used in hybrid format whereby CrypKey USBKey and either CrypKey Instant or CrypKey SDK can be used to protect a software application. First and only hybrid solution of hardware and software license management to date.
• a must-have for customers who need to take software or data with them when they leave their computer and also for "unique situation" computers that cannot easily incorporate other protection methods; can also be used as an emergency back-up license
